Yesso, the plan is to sell but how good is Honda, we really suffered in Naija with Honda ooo. Was thinking Toyota is more reliable especially with automatic, since this country likes manual so much

Honda used in Nigeria, can never be compared with a Honda used in the UK.......

How many times have you seen a Honda in the UK, with K leg fracture............... grin

Toyota is also good and reliable if you have had bad experience with Honda.
I like manual cars personally.

On the flip side, auto driving examinations, are much much easier to pass....... The money you spend on more expensive driving lessons, you save on extra length of time, doing manual driving lessons and passing manual driving examinations.......

Not forgetting the ease of driving auto, when you eventually pass your driving test..... #Teamstick

Take your time searching, you would surely find an automatic transmission vehicle, to suit your taste and budget...........

Less than 100K for all this hot vehicles and a budget of £2.5K........

If you are looking for younger models, that's why your search might be difficult. Have you set your target on the minimum REG, you would not compromise on?....

For families who have children and interested in 2 (pair) tickets to legoland ....

Sun Newspaper deal Starts today , buy Suns newspaper for the next 9 days, download the app and enter the code every day. By next sunday you would have collected 9 codes and then you can book 2 free tickets to legoland with 2 pounds booking fee. ....

All this trouble totals about 4.50 per tickets or 9 pound per pair. Loads of people get the deal and then sell this ticket for 25 to 30 pound on ebay . It still way cheaper than paying full price or 1/2 price coupon

I was like you.. did one manual lesson and said Tufia! I cannot leave Egypt and go back. Just keep checking. In my zone both Auto and Manual classes cost same, just that fewer instructors offer Auto. We use a Toyota and an Astra with no issues. Weren’t very cheap but you know most times your 1st few years in a new land is for mumu spending. Please stick to the Auto plan. It’s worth the reduced stress.

Don't forget 2 paying adults would have to accompany and the dates they issue tickets for might not be convenient.....

Some Kellogs cornflakes packs offers this deals, all year round.........

Honda went all out on this model, hence the fascination.... It's a more modern car, for cheaper money..... Not an everyday vehicle, probably would be used mostly for long Europe trips.........
